This publication is the second volume of Há Gente Na Via, by the artist Carla Filipe. It is dedicated to architecture, gardens, and orchards, and is composed of photography and text. Its main focus is the universe of Portuguese railways, based on a photographic archive that the artist created between 2005 and 2025. The artist’s book is the chosen exhibition medium for presenting photographs accompanied by a variety of texts, following a metalanguage methodology that seeks to place the subject in perspective and expand the field of reflection through new discursive significations. Taken from railway vocabulary, the expression há gente na via (“there are people on the track”) was understood as a warning signal, a way of ensuring the safety of the railway line. Protecting the railway means keeping it clear for circulation, preventing accidents or delays. Today, pedestrian circulation is limited to a very small number of railway lines, whose access is increasingly restricted by a security system composed of bridges, tunnels, and signage that minimises the possibility of proximity.
